Druggists and High License.

A druggist writes that he has been
accustomed to sell sherry as table
wine to lady who is delicate, and to
another for cooking purposes. An
aged lady sends to him for u little
brandy occasionally, and score of
patrons buy malt whiskey and other
more or less alcoholic preparations.
He asks if the new High License law
will stop these sales unless physi-
clans certificate accompanies each ap
plication He supposes case: "E
has met with an accident, is faint
from loss Of blood. There is no phys
ican at hand, yet see that he needs
stimulant. Am / debarred by the
new law from letting him have it?"
The old liquor law allowed drug
gists to sell alcohol, wine, malt liquor
and their preparations as medicines
even when applied for without pre-
scription. The new law is more
stringent. 1t says druggists and
apothecaries "shall not sell intoxicat-
ing liquors except upon the written
prescription OF a regularly registered
physician. This apparently cuts of
the druggists sales to old ladies OF
brandy and sherry, but there is this
saving clause: "Alcohol or any pre-
paration containing the same may be
sold for scientific, mechanical or med
icinal purposes." No physicians GER
tiGcato is required for such sales, and
until it is judically settled how much
ground, or rather how much liquor,
the phrase preparations containing
alco hol" can be made to cover, it IL
impossible to say just how great the
restriction is which the new law
throws around the sales OF liquor by
druggists.
As for the case Of the fainting man
who has met with an accident, there
is nothing to prevent druggist from
letting him have all the stimulant
that is necessary. He cannot, how.
ever, charge for it. No sales Of intox-
icating liquor can be made without a
iconse even for the benefit Of people
in a faint. The new law, therefore,
will give druggists an excellent
chance to practice the virtues Of the
good Samaritan.-FhiPa Press.

Vlctoria's Jubilee.

Queen Victoria Of England com
pleted fifty years Of her reign on last
Tuesday. This is longer reign
than most monarchs or rulers have had
had the occasion called forth Jubi-
lee celebration that has been unequal
led in modern times. No such num-
bers of people and display Of royalty
was ever witnessed in London. A
grand procession, headed by the
Queen and royal family of Great
Britain, and many of the royalty of
other counties, decorated in regal
and rich robes, proceeded to West
minister Abbey, where the Queen was
seated upon the old throne she was
crowned upon fifty years ago. The
ceremonies that then followed would
have to be read in detail to be appre-
ciated. Many Americans were pres
ent, honoring woman who has
reigned with moderation, lived pure
life and been q good Queen and
mother. In this respect to the
Queen they in nowise expre essed any
admiration for the system OF British
Government, or for any recent acts or
policies of that Government, but ad-
miration solely for Queen who has
lived 30 long and ruled 80 well.

The fOornern In wheat In the
Chicago speculative market was bro
ken on Tuesday with most disastrous
results to those who have had their
money invested in wind. A number
of the largest firms were forced to the
wall, and the losses in Chicago alone
are placed at six millions of dollars.
What they are throughout the coun-
try, in every city and little town where
fools have been gambling in wheat"
never will be known, This sudden
decline In the price Of wheat. that of
June wheat falling in two days from
"a to "a cents and July wheat from
90 to 72 cents was not produced by the
natural causes whiuh should control
the market, such. as q decreased de-
mand or prospective largely increas-
ed production, but simply by the
manipulations of conscienceless specu-
lators. There is no more wheat in
the country to-day when it is worth
72 cents q bqshel than there was last
week when 1t was worth % cents.
Prices were simply forced up by the
gamblers in wind until the bubble
burst. Meanwhile, as in the "colfee
corner" consumers have been CON-
PEELED to contribute to this horde Of
spectators. While there Is reason
for congratulation in the fact that the
consprators in forcing prices up have
been "hoist by their own petard," the
money they lose only goos to others
of the same stripe who will use it to
plunder the people at another time

THE Hon. j. W. Lee, of VenaDgo
county, is very favorably m entioned
for the Assistant Law Judgeship pro-
vided for by the Legisla ture in the
district composed of the counties of
McKean and Potter. Governor Bea-
yer could make no better appoint
ment to that position. Senator Lee
has all the legal qualifications and
personally is very popular in all the
northwestern section of the State. His

in this county and very gratifying to
a large number of friends. We hope

same price to each and every customer could afford to
offer 500 for ST. co. but the customer would in most of

WHEREAS, The President OF the

turn of the captured battle flags to the
Governors of the respective Southern
States, therefore,
Resolved, That we the members OF
Gel. J. H. Wilson Post, No. 496, u.

by the President in ordering the res
toration of the war relics, and there
fore most emphatically enter our pro-

the people to be supreme, we demand
of the Chief Executive the authority
for his infamous and pusillanimous

The Personal Tax Law,

There can be NJ doubt Of the new
law, of May last, repeating the taxes
on household furniture, watches and
pleasure carriages. These taxes can
not now be collected from any who
have not yet paid them for the cur
rent year. To those who have paid
them it seems there il no way provid-
ed in the new law for relunding them.
This would not appear 10 be equity,
but equity cannot override the expsesS
terms of the law.

Marriage Anniversary.

On Saturday, June 18th, A: d.
1887, relatives, friends and neighbors
gathered at the residence of MIR. and
Mrs. Joseph Sutton, of Concord
township, Butler county, Pa, to
celebrate the 47th anniversary of
their marriage They came from all
parts of the county in buggies and
carriages, and some on foot, with
their baskets we'll filed. This family
consists Of FIVE sons, two daughters,
and twenty grandchildren Mr..
Sutton has two brothers and two
sisters and Mrs. Sutton has two
brothers, John and Matthew Morrow.
The former is the Oldest man in
Concord township.
Two tables were erected in the
barn and the good things to satisfy
the inner man were placed thereon.
The time arrived for dinner, and by
request of the committee Rev. Starks
stated to the audience that the
preachers would take the advance,
Mr.. and Mrs Sutton were to follow,
then the brothers and sisters and
children, and the friends and neigh
boIs to follow in the rear, in which
order they marched to the barn.
The ministers and near relatives were
generally seated OF one table. After
being seated, and order and quiet re-
stored, Rev. Starks called on Rev. j.
III. Marshall to ask Gods blessing.
Then the chicken, pies, sweet-cakes
and other eatables were apparently
relished with no snail degree of
pleasure and qualification, After the
eatables were served the fourth time
and two hundred and thirty-fve had
satisfied the cravings of their appe-
tites, the tables were removed and
the audience was gathered under the
shade of large locust tree near the
mansion house, Mr.. and Mrs. Sutton
being seated in two beautiful arm
chairs The audience was called to
order by Mr.. r. w. Jamison, and on
motion, Capt. John G. Christy was
elected Chairman and Peter Kam-
erer Secretary. The president made
an appropriate speech: he remarked
that in viewing this audience he
could picture manhood in all its
stages in this life. "Here we can see
the little infant, the youth, the young
man, and the middle aged up to the
great-grandfather and mother; as it
were from the cradel to the grave"
The Chairman then called on Rev.
Starks to lead in prayer. Mr.. r. w.
Jaml son gave o short address of
welcome on the part Of the friends.
Rev. J II Marshall was called on to
make the presentation speech, which
he did in On able manner, setting
forth the propriety OF enjoyment and
advising the old folks to enjoy them
selves while life would last and think
of that home in heaven. The speaker
then preselted the gifts, the first of
which were two arm chairs presented
by their children, and the third was
presented by Mr. and Mrs. p. r
Sutton, and the fourth by Mr.. and
Mrs. James Sutton. Then there
were other gifts too numerous to
mention. Response by Rev. >starks,
and speech by Mr.. Joseph Jack. On
motion adjourned after singing the
l.. VI. Doxology, and the benediction
being pronounced by Rev. Marshall,
May peace, Joy apd happiness crown
the declining years OF this aged
couple, is the wish of the writer.
